Next step - rev matching at a creep.

This skill is critical for smoothly negotiating stop&go traffic. It also helps you get out of the rubber band herky-jerky dance once you're stuck in it.

Once you have the upshift mastered, drive along in first at between 5-7 mph.

Get a feel for how fast the engine is spinning.

Disengage the clutch

Let the engine idle.

Bring it back up to the same speed.

Ease out the clutch.


Pro Tip: I've found it's smoother to blip the throttle a bit above the target rpm and let it sink just as the clutch begins to grab.

Just a tiny bit. No F&F bullshit.
